Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

From California'sProposition 37 initiative to New York City's soda ban, journalist and best-selling author Michael Pollan argues that local efforts hold the key to challenging the agricultural industry's stranglehold over national food policy. With companies like Monsanto influencing Congress and state legislatures, Pollan warns the United States risks falling into a "two-class food system," where only those who can afford to live outside the industrial food system can access healthy ways to eat. Among the nation's leading writers and thinkers on food and food policy, Pollan is a professor at the University of California, BerkeleySchool of Journalism and author of several best-selling books, including "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto."

Narration Script:
Genetically modified crops are plants that have been created by adding new genes using methods of gene technology.
Most plant crops grown today have been created by breeding. Breeding achieves introduction of new traits into existing crop lines by crossing them with other lines of the same crop that have a desired trait.
During initial stages of breeding, all genes of parental lines are recombined in a random order. Because resulting plants are quite a mix, both genetically and phenotypically, they are backcrossed to one of the parents, and then backcrossed again several times until the original genotype of the parent is restored to large degree.
Now, think of the time it takes to do all the backcrossing. On average it takes about ten generations, or five years of back crossing, to develop a new variety of wheat by conventional breeding methods. Breeding a new variety of apples takes about fifteen years.
Another challenge plant breeders face is that they can only transfer genes between closely related species. Even if there was, say, a very useful draught tolerance gene in oranges, it could never be transferred to apples by crossing.
These two limitations of breeding can be bypassed by introducing genes into plant genome directly, either with Agrobacterium or with a gene gun.
A gene that is being introduced can be isolated from a related plant species, isolated from a completely different organism, or it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in a test tube.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil microorganism that can naturally transfer some of its DNA into plant cells.
In wild Agrobacterium strains this DNA, called transfer DNA, contains several genes that hijack plant biochemical pathways and make plant cells synthesize chemical compounds that Agrobacterium uses for food.
Using methods of molecular cloning, all bacterial genes on transfer DNA can be removed and replaced with the genes of interest. Agrobacterium then delivers these genes into plant nucleus where they integrate into plant genome.
Another technology widely used for plant transformation is a gene gun. Instead of inserting genes of interest into Agrobacterium, the DNA is loaded onto microscopic gold particles and it is literally shot into plant cells. Some of the gold particles land in cell nuclei and DNA from them gets inserted into plant chromosomes.
Both Agrobacterim- and gene gun-mediated gene delivery is done in plant tissue culture - little clamps of plant cells that later on differentiate and grow into actual plants.
So, in the form of breeding, genetic modification of plants has been practiced for thousands of years. Modern methods of gene technology make this process faster, more precise, and open to using genes from unrelated species.

Learn more about the GMO labeling law here: https://draxe.com/gmo-labeling-law/
Genetically modified foods have been genetically altered by wiring in the DNA of pesticides and herbicides. These contaminated foods have been linked to leaky gut syndrome, an increase in allergies, rapid aging, potential tumor growth, disorders of the reproductive and endocrine systems and more.
In this video, guest expert Jeffrey Smith and I discuss how to avoid GMO foods and eat a non-GMO diet. By removing certain foods from your diet, reading product labels, shopping local, staying informed and making other lifestyle changes, you can keep away from harmful GMOs. Watch the video to learn more.

Genetically modified organism

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques (i.e. genetically engineered organism). GMOs are the source of medicines and genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce other goods.The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term, 'living modified organism', defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates international trade in living GMOs (specifically, "any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology").

A more specifically defined type of GMO is a "Transgenic Organism". This is an organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by the addition of genetic material from another, unrelated organism. This should not be confused with the more general way in which "GMO" is used to classify genetically altered organisms, as typically GMOs are organisms whose genetic makeup has been altered without the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism.

88open

The 88open Consortium was an industry standards group set up by Motorola in 1988 to standardize Unix systems on their Motorola 88000RISCprocessor systems. The effort was largely a failure, at least in terms of attracting attention to the 88000 platform, and the group folded as soon as Motorola turned their attention to the PowerPC.

3+Share

3+Share, also known simply as 3+ or 3 Plus, was a pioneering file and print sharing product from 3Com. Introduced in the early 1980s, 3+Share was competitive with Novell's NetWare in the network server business throughout the 1980s. It was replaced by the joint Microsoft-3Com LAN Manager in 1990, but 3Com exited the server market in 1991.

In 1984, Microsoft announced MS-Net, a framework for building multitaskingnetwork servers that ran on top of single-tasking MS-DOS. MS-Net implemented only the basic services for file and print sharing, and left out the actual networking protocol stack in favor of a virtual system in the form of IBM's NetBIOS. Vendors, like 3Com, licensed the MS-Net system and then added device drivers and other parts of the protocol stack to implement a complete server system.

In the case of 3+Share, 3Com based their networking solution on the seminal Xerox Network Systems (XNS), which 3Com's CEO Robert Metcalf had helped design. XNS provided the networking protocol as well as connections to the underlying Ethernet hardware it ran on, which Metcalf had also helped design. They also modified MS-Net's servers to produce what they called EtherShare and EtherPrint protocols, which could be accessed with any MS-DOS computer that had the MS-Net client software installed.

Advertising

Elf Yourself (2006) and its related Scrooge Yourself (2007) are both interactivewebsites created by Jason Zada and Evolution Bureau for OfficeMax's holiday seasonadvertising campaign. Elf Yourself allows visitors to upload images of themselves or their friends, see them as dancing elves, and includes options to post the created video to other sites or save it as a personalized mini-film. According to ClickZ, visiting the Elf Yourself site "has become an annual tradition that people look forward to". While not selling any one specific product, the two were created to raise consumer awareness of the sponsoring firm.

Most plant crops grown today have been created by breeding. Breeding achieves introduction of new traits into existing crop lines by crossing them with other lines of the same crop that have a desired trait.
During initial stages of breeding, all genes of parental lines are recombined in a random order. Because resulting plants are quite a mix, both genetically and phenotypically, they are backcrossed to one of the parents, and then backcrossed again several times until the original genotype of the parent is restored to large degree.
Now, think of the time it takes to do all the backcrossing. On average it takes about ten gener...

How to Eat a Non-GMO Diet with Jeffrey Smith

Learn more about the GMO labeling law here: https://draxe.com/gmo-labeling-law/
Genetically modified foods have been genetically altered by wiring in the DNA of pesticides and herbicides. These contaminated foods have been linked to leaky gut syndrome, an increase in allergies, rapid aging, potential tumor growth, disorders of the reproductive and endocrine systems and more.
In this video, guest expert Jeffrey Smith and I discuss how to avoid GMO foods and eat a non-GMO diet. By removing certain foods from your diet, reading product labels, shopping local, staying informed and making other lifestyle changes, you can keep away from harmful GMOs. Watch the video to learn more.

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

From California'sProposition 37 initiative to New York City's soda ban, journalist and best-selling author Michael Pollan argues that local efforts hold the key to challenging the agricultural industry's stranglehold over national food policy. With companies like Monsanto influencing Congress and state legislatures, Pollan warns the United States risks falling into a "two-class food system," where only those who can afford to live outside the industrial food system can access healthy ways to eat. Among the nation's leading writers and thinkers on food and food policy, Pollan is a professor at the University of California, BerkeleySchool of Journalism and author of several best-selling books, including "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto."

Guys, write your comments!
Narration Script:
Genetically modified crops are plants that have been created by adding new genes using methods of gene technology.
Most plant crops grown today have been created by breeding. Breeding achieves introduction of new traits into existing crop lines by crossing them with other lines of the same crop that have a desired trait.
During initial stages of breeding, all genes of parental lines are recombined in a random order. Because resulting plants are quite a mix, both genetically and phenotypically, they are backcrossed to one of the parents, and then backcrossed again several times until the original genotype of the parent is restored to large degree.
Now, think of the time it takes to do all the backcrossing. On average it takes about ten generations, or five years of back crossing, to develop a new variety of wheat by conventional breeding methods. Breeding a new variety of apples takes about fifteen years.
Another challenge plant breeders face is that they can only transfer genes between closely related species. Even if there was, say, a very useful draught tolerance gene in oranges, it could never be transferred to apples by crossing.
These two limitations of breeding can be bypassed by introducing genes into plant genome directly, either with Agrobacterium or with a gene gun.
A gene that is being introduced can be isolated from a related plant species, isolated from a completely different organism, or it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in a test tube.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil microorganism that can naturally transfer some of its DNA into plant cells.
In wild Agrobacterium strains this DNA, called transfer DNA, contains several genes that hijack plant biochemical pathways and make plant cells synthesize chemical compounds that Agrobacterium uses for food.
Using methods of molecular cloning, all bacterial genes on transfer DNA can be removed and replaced with the genes of interest. Agrobacterium then delivers these genes into plant nucleus where they integrate into plant genome.
Another technology widely used for plant transformation is a gene gun. Instead of inserting genes of interest into Agrobacterium, the DNA is loaded onto microscopic gold particles and it is literally shot into plant cells. Some of the gold particles land in cell nuclei and DNA from them gets inserted into plant chromosomes.
Both Agrobacterim- and gene gun-mediated gene delivery is done in plant tissue culture - little clamps of plant cells that later on differentiate and grow into actual plants.
So, in the form of breeding, genetic modification of plants has been practiced for thousands of years. Modern methods of gene technology make this process faster, more precise, and open to using genes from unrelated species.

During the month of April every year we invite you to make a commitment to go non-GMO and share it with us for a chance to win some amazing prizes!
Every non-GMO decision makes a difference. Whether you pledge to go non-GMO for a day, a week, a month, or for good, each food choice helps drive change across the world.

My Non-GMO Challenge Commitment

A young teenager shares her personal commitment for the Non-GMO Challenge. The Non-GMO Project launched the Non-GMO Challenge on April 1, 2012 as a way for people to make a meaningful non-GMO commitment for Earth Month. The Non-GMO Challenge is an action-oriented platform that offers education, inspiration and rewards for choosing non-GMO, whether for one meal or for the entire month.

Why are GMOs Bad?

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

From California'sProposition 37 initiative to New York City's soda ban, journalist and best-selling author Michael Pollan argues that local efforts hold the key to challenging the agricultural industry's stranglehold over national food policy. With companies like Monsanto influencing Congress and state legislatures, Pollan warns the United States risks falling into a "two-class food system," where only those who can afford to live outside the industrial food system can access healthy ways to eat. Among the nation's leading writers and thinkers on food and food policy, Pollan is a professor at the University of California, BerkeleySchool of Journalism and author of several best-selling books, including "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto."

Science Of Genetically Modified Crops

Guys, write your comments!
Narration Script:
Genetically modified crops are plants that have been created by adding new genes using methods of gene technology.
Most plant crops grown today have been created by breeding. Breeding achieves introduction of new traits into existing crop lines by crossing them with other lines of the same crop that have a desired trait.
During initial stages of breeding, all genes of parental lines are recombined in a random order. Because resulting plants are quite a mix, both genetically and phenotypically, they are backcrossed to one of the parents, and then backcrossed again several times until the original genotype of the parent is restored to large degree.
Now, think of the time it takes to do all the backcrossing. On average it takes about ten generations, or five years of back crossing, to develop a new variety of wheat by conventional breeding methods. Breeding a new variety of apples takes about fifteen years.
Another challenge plant breeders face is that they can only transfer genes between closely related species. Even if there was, say, a very useful draught tolerance gene in oranges, it could never be transferred to apples by crossing.
These two limitations of breeding can be bypassed by introducing genes into plant genome directly, either with Agrobacterium or with a gene gun.
A gene that is being introduced can be isolated from a related plant species, isolated from a completely different organism, or it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in a test tube.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil microorganism that can naturally transfer some of its DNA into plant cells.
In wild Agrobacterium strains this DNA, called transfer DNA, contains several genes that hijack plant biochemical pathways and make plant cells synthesize chemical compounds that Agrobacterium uses for food.
Using methods of molecular cloning, all bacterial genes on transfer DNA can be removed and replaced with the genes of interest. Agrobacterium then delivers these genes into plant nucleus where they integrate into plant genome.
Another technology widely used for plant transformation is a gene gun. Instead of inserting genes of interest into Agrobacterium, the DNA is loaded onto microscopic gold particles and it is literally shot into plant cells. Some of the gold particles land in cell nuclei and DNA from them gets inserted into plant chromosomes.
Both Agrobacterim- and gene gun-mediated gene delivery is done in plant tissue culture - little clamps of plant cells that later on differentiate and grow into actual plants.
So, in the form of breeding, genetic modification of plants has been practiced for thousands of years. Modern methods of gene technology make this process faster, more precise, and open to using genes from unrelated species.

How to Eat a Non-GMO Diet with Jeffrey Smith

Learn more about the GMO labeling law here: https://draxe.com/gmo-labeling-law/
Genetically modified foods have been genetically altered by wiring in the DNA of pesticides and herbicides. These contaminated foods have been linked to leaky gut syndrome, an increase in allergies, rapid aging, potential tumor growth, disorders of the reproductive and endocrine systems and more.
In this video, guest expert Jeffrey Smith and I discuss how to avoid GMO foods and eat a non-GMO diet. By removing certain foods from your diet, reading product labels, shopping local, staying informed and making other lifestyle changes, you can keep away from harmful GMOs. Watch the video to learn more.

Genetically modified organism

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques (i.e. genetically engineered organism). GMOs are the source of medicines and genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce other goods.The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term, 'living modified organism', defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates international trade in living GMOs (specifically, "any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology").

A more specifically defined type of GMO is a "Transgenic Organism". This is an organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by the addition of genetic material from another, unrelated organism. This should not be confused with the more general way in which "GMO" is used to classify genetically altered organisms, as typically GMOs are organisms whose genetic makeup has been altered without the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism.
